I think I'm going to try Terraria

Damn I just noticed that it's on sale. PEOPLE! If you don't own it, you NEED this game. Well worth it at $10, much less $7.50. I can understand if you would want to wait, but pick it up before the sale is over of you will be SMITED by the Steam Gods.

I'm going to laugh if Bloodlines is one of those games that gets taken off sale earlier then expected.

Does this happen with games other than something like SF4: AE? I mean that price was ridiculously low. The discount on Bloodlines is not unreasonable.

Doesn't happen often, unless it's a mistake like Street Fighter.

Sooo... is there a chance that Dawn of War: Retribution will go any cheaper, or is THIS the "daily deal" that we're supposed to wait for when buying stuff? I've been waiting for that one to go on sale for a while.

It won't go lower then the "daily deal" for this sale, might wait till Christmas Sale or even next year due to it being a newer game. I'm hold off till next years when its $7.50 or less since I haven't played DoW 2 + Xpac.

I guess we should just give up the waiting for dailies shtick. You guys are so impatient.
If they find the price reasonable now and want to play it now, then I don't see the problem. It's a steal at the current price and some people won't fret over it being a pound or two less expensive if it goes on a daily deal.

The Bit.Trip Beat achievement is fucking impossible for me. The game makes my eyes hurt after playing it for a while...

Anyone wanna do a four pack Terraria thing? $5.62 a piece, right?

Edit:
Does anyone know if Steam would allow me to swap Oblivion GotY Edition for the Deluxe Edition and pay the difference?

I'm not sure if I want to get the Back to the Future games. I love the source material, but I don't know if I can play an adventure game. D:

For what it's worth, there are a lot of options you can enable to make the games very easy. If all you want is to experience the story and characters then you'd have no problems.

Beat the first stage which is a task the game is super hard to perfect

You just have to beat the first part of the first stage. The achievement is broken right now and no one is getting it.

I don't see why it matters. If people want to play a game today they should just buy it today. If you're only going to save a few dollars you have to ask yourself if you'd rather save some money or start playing now.

Terraria is already a cheap game to start with. The only games I would definitely hold off on are games that are $20 and up.

Is the single player campaign of MOH worth $10? I know it didn't review great, but for $10, man. Even the trailers I saw made it look worth that.

There's a 4 pack? I can't see it in Europe, but if there's one for the US, I'm in.

I enjoyed The Longest Journey very much back in the day, but I've heard the sequel isn't as good. Is it still worth getting?

And there's never any daily deals with the Valve Pack are there? $50 is sweet for all those games, but I already have Portal 1+2. I assume I can gift the Portals I already own?

How the hell do you get 5 stars on the Aaaaa level? I can't do it for the life of me. I'm topped out at 33k.
Got it after checking the Steam forums and seeing that you should get both 2000 plates by dying after getting the first one... dur.

How hard is the Toki Tori ticket? Also did anyone confirm whether the Bit.Trip was Beat or Runner yet?

They just patched the achievement in for it. From a quick boot I can't quite figure out what level I'm supposed to be playing ;_;

edit: Sunbeams are in Normal: 6, 8, 11, Hard: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Bonus: 3 and look like this.

I think you can gift all the games you already own, yes. Someone right me if I'm wrong.

Valve and/or the developers really needed to get their shit together better for these tickets. Swords & Soldiers gives you the wrong one and Bit.Trip Runner or Beat (who knows!) is completely fucked.

Its possible that the achievement is supposed to be for Runner but was attributed to Beat. There is no defined 1-1 in But there is in Runner. Welp.

Who cares about sales, this is about achievements damn it!

derFeef said:
Wow, no way I can do that without errors. That is pretty long.

There is no 1-1 level in Bit.Trip.Beat, only in Bit.Trip.Runner so most likely they made a mistake. Last time there was some buggy sale achievements as well, but they'll quickly fix it, or just give everyone the ticket for free.

While I was just getting the DoW Retribution achievement "prometheum summer" I also got a "summer slaying" achievement which might be for one of the upcoming days. :p

Now, we just need a host or whatever...
I'm in if one of you can host. I can't since I'm from Europe and the price would be higher then.
